Review on My Little Cuppies: Cakes and more cakes!

Dyan

Remember the cupcake stand i painstakingly DIY-ed?

This is how it looked on our big day.

I ordered some regular cupcakes ($1.80) and some mini ones ($0.80) from My Little Cuppies.

I chose a simple design considering that my Cupcake Stand has plenty of details already.

The cupcakes taste nice! You know how some cupcakes nampak lawa tapi bila makan, kadang2 manis and some buttercream has that plastic taste? Yang ni takde!

I was very pleased with the presentation and the taste so definitely thumbs up for Kak Ros!

All in all, i only spent less than $100.00 on my cupcakes and the materials for my cupcake stand costs me less than $50.00.

Apart from the cupcakes, i also ordered the Viola Set from Kak Ros.

I requested for Cake with a White Flying V guitar with Tiffany blue base for the cake and i absolutely adore the final outcome!

If you are looking for cupcakes for your wedding, i would recommend My Little Cuppies.

She also does wedding cakes and wedding cupcake tiers.

But if you are on a budget like me, you can get the loose cupcakes from her and diy your own cupcake stands.

If you are lazy to DIY your own, my cupcake stand is up for rent at a nominal fee. 🙂

my 28th

Dyan

So, i celebrated my 28th last 2 days. The colleagues surprised me with pizza and a birthday and to be really honest, i nearly forgot my birthday. Not because i’m turning 28 and i’m in denial. lol

But because planning the wedding actually took up the bulk of my memory space. haha

It was a simple celebration, but sweet nonetheless.

The boy took me out for a movie date on my birthday and it was a much needed one. Dah lama tak tengok wayang! We caught What’s Your Number and i was ogling at Chris Evans the whole time. tsk.

Go watch it! Although the movie is really quite predictable but it had some awesome, original lines.

On rainy deepavali, we were out visiting relatives. That’s all we gonna do at least for another week!

The Husband & Wife

After 10 days..

Dyan

After 10 days of being a wife, here’s what i have to say.

  • Suddenly, macam banyak gila kerja rumah nak bikin. I’m not a domestic goddess, so the first few days kahwin tu, macam banyak sangat laundry nak bikin. It doesn’t help that i don’t normally iron shirts etc. So when it comes to ironing his work shirts and pants, i nearly fainted.
  • We both start work at 9am and while i am used to waking up at 8am every day cos my friend will drive me to work at approx 8.50am and we’ll reach office at about 9.20am (hee hee). The boy have to wake up by 6.00am and leave the house by 6.30am cos he’s using the OPC car and need to reach his work place at Jurong East by 7.00am. Needless to say, our frist day back to work was pretty chaotic. I managed to wake up by 6.00am but i didn’t have the energy to go on waking him up 3 to 4 times. i gave up after the first try and went back to sleep. The both of us did not wake up till 8.00am. Imagine kita semua lari2 dalam rumah macam org gila just tomake sure we get out by 8.30am!

But, i am enjoying the whole marriage life. It just makes us bond even further. Each night before i sleep, i am thankful to Him for letting me meet my soulmate.

I know it’ll be hard for us to adjust to our new life. Just few nights ago, i cried cos i was homesick. But i know, given time, we will definitely get used to our new lifestyle.

I am certainly learning to domesticate myself, starting with the laundry and cooking.

Twice, the parents-in-law came, and i was able to whip out some dishes including Mee Soto. Uber proud! I didn’t manage to take picture of the Mee Soto cos everyone was hungry. lol

Our first proper dinner. Sambal sardin + Kailan Oyster + salted egg.

I pounded the onion the traditional way cos we forgot to buy a blender. lol Akak-akak shop & save.
Our Big Breakfast last sunday.
Jentayu, Musings of a Bride

His song. His voice.

Dyan

I mentioned about how he surprised me with a song he composed, on our wedding day. It really came as a surprise to me cos he did not tell me about it at all.

He did play the tunes before this, and i told him i love the tunes but i never though he would actually put the words together (with some helps from Jentayu, of cos!)

The lyrics were simple but oh so meaningful and sweet. Bila dengar and tengok lagik, macam nak nangis lagik. lol

and oh, i cried so much on my wedding, macam budak baru masuk Primary 1 sey.

Wedding Videos [Part 1]

Dyan

Over the weekends, one of our good friends, Gee put up three short video of our wedding. This is supposed to be a lil sneak preview of our wedding, before Azmi starts editing the actual video itself.

Here’s the short preview. Thanks Gee! I love the mood of the video and the smiles i see. I’m starting to miss the wedding already!

and here’s a short video of Jentayu at our wedding, which is super cute.

Dah halal!

Dyan

Just a short post cos akak sekarang dah jadi bini orang, dah start busy. Pasal rumah tonggang terbalik. Masih belom kemas lagik!lol

Alhamdulilah, everything went well. A little hiccups here and there but it doesn’t matter much cos there was few unexpected stuff that happened that made me smile on that day.

The boy secretly composed a song for me and sang it on our wedding day. That was priceless and automatically erased all the imperfection that happened on that day. It came as a surprise and i kept crying throughout the whole song. (him too!) lol

I think some of you would have seen some tagged pictures from either mine / lyanaz bridal / chase hasemi / jss deco Facebook. But here’s a bit of pictures till i sit down and write a detailed post on everything.


Here’s a little sneak peek from Hasemi’s album from our Marina Barrage Outdoor Shoot:

Me love all the 3 pictures. I can’t wait for all the pictures!

Till later, ok!

Henna Night

Dyan

** This is a scheduled post.

I’m drafting this at 5.30am with my phone cos i’m finally done with my henna and i can’t sleep. Oh my, who knew getting ya henna done could be so tiring!

I proceed with the henna service given by Lyanaz Bridal, not knowing it’ll be from Wanie from Pesona Belle. Phew. Love her works!

My girlfriends came and we had a mini hen party.

She started at 7.30pm and finally went back at about 11.30pm. I had to keep my henna on for at least 5-6hrs with no contact of water. I was supposed to wake up at 3am but ter-overshot sampai 4am.

I’m loving my current henna stain and i wish it would stay this colour but we all know it’ll get darker by 2mr. 😦
